A worthwhile link is http://freerangekids.wordpress.com/
The first website we found that let us know that not everyone considered us freaks!
Thanks for the links, there are many I hadn’t come across before.

Hello, Kiwiswiss, and thank you! I’m so glad to hear that you found these resources worthwhile. I’m always on the lookout for the best information about the things I care deeply about.

I felt the same way when I discovered FreeRangeKids (and many of these other sites). Finally, a community of people who share my values and desires and a parenting style that favors common sense and play (a real childhood!) over fear.

I’m curious about your own experiences with this issue, if you’d like to share any, especially as you’re not in the (particularly fearful) U.S.

Please, encourage people to look for their local Food Day events tomorrow! October 24th and all week long. Our local food movement really needs to find out how to connect with the slow food movements. Can you make suggestions how we can all network together? Thank you for your great blog! I will forward it to many ;-) ~RuthAnn
See FoodDay.org and put in your zip code for good, clean, local fun and food!

Hello from Panama City, Panama. I would love to get information on slow cities in the US and Europe…I will be retiring in a couple of years and I am considering moving to a slow city with my 11 year old son who was born with Down syndrome. He can learn and function but it takes him a little longer than average kids so I believe a slow city would be ideal for us. Maybe we can travel and see how it goes before making a final decision. I truly appreciate any information and help you might offer. Thank you very much!

Hi Luz, How is your search going? Please look through the resources here, especially the ones about sustainable cities. Have you thought about Berlin? There is a site called http://www.slowtravelberlin.org that will give you some idea about it. http://www.strongtowns.org is a good one to get you thinking about what to look for in a U.S. city. Please do check out the links on the list. And keep me posted as to your search. Good luck!

Greetings~We are hoping to find websites that would like to provide more resources for families with children who are being bullied. Your website
looks like it would be a great place to expose your readers to some helpful information.
Our site is designed to be informative and open up conversations with people who are interested in helping children by banishing bullying behavior. If this seems like a mutual goal, we would be grateful if you would consider adding us to your site. Thank you!
